‘I am the chosen one’: Trump again plays on messianic claims as he embraces ‘King of Israel’ title

August 21 at 3:35 PM
President Trump on Wednesday tweeted a fawning quote from a non-Jewish conservative radio host who described Trump as the “King of Israel” and who said, without evidence, that Israeli Jews “love him like he is the second coming of God.”

Trump’s tweets cited Wayne Allyn Root, who described himself in a 2016 Townhall column as a “Jew turned evangelical Christian” and has promoted several conspiracy theories in the past, including that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States and that he is gay.

“The Jewish people in Israel love him like he’s the King of Israel,” Trump quoted Root as saying. “They love him like he is the second coming of God...But American Jews don’t know him or like him. They don’t even know what they’re doing or saying anymore.”

​

Trump’s tweets made “King of Israel” the leading trending topic of the day on Twitter, generating many baffled and outraged responses. Later Wednesday, Trump said “I am the chosen one” to fix the U.S. trade imbalance with China, as he looked to the sky.

He told reporters that his trade war with China was one that should have taken place a long time ago: “Somebody had to do it, so I’m taking on China. I’m taking on China on trade, and you know what? We’re winning.”

In the Bible, Jewish leaders call Jesus the “king of Israel” in a mocking way when he was put on the cross, according to Matthew 27:42: “He’s the king of Israel! Let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him.”

Root also says that Jews “love him like he is the second coming of God.” Jewish scriptures include mentions of a concept of a Messiah who will improve the world, but it’s left unspecific and is not central to Judaism. Christianity includes the core idea of a Messiah, or savior — Jesus.

I need someone to explain to me why this crackhead looked up when he said it. If he hadn't, I could almost write it off as just his regular dumbass bluster (still not great, but nothing new.

But he made this gesture, like he was signifying something when he said it, and that shit is crazy. I mean, people still want to make Obama the antichrist, but you have this dude giving himself more clout-talk than Triple H on a Monday night. I don't get it.

 

[fu2]

When he is re-elected, you won't be able to tell him nothing. His ceremony will feature him wearing a King's robe proclaiming he is the chosen once again

Aside from Trump's narcissistic comparisons and reality TV antics, he's right about China and the EU on trade. Among many others. The status quo needs to be changed.

I’m just glad that BGOL and social media sites are just a microcosm of what the masses truly think.

But you’re right, this stuff is scripted like WWE and people keep falling for it. The truth is dismissed as fiction but the fairytales are promoted as fact and if you try to explain the difference you’ll get attacked or called cac or coon. It’s unbelievable!

He is right about China but it will be dismissed.

However, tariffs are not the way to combat it and everything he is doing is only lining the pockets of his major donors at the expense of the American working class.

He also is helping China as well by giving them more access than before since they did forgive almost $1B in loan money to Khazar Kushner.

He’s gonna get a 2nd term unfortunately.

He's not right about tariffs.

You get called a coon or a cac if you do or say coonish or cacish things. There's plenty of room here for people with their own opinions, but for the most part, people that come in here thinking they are nuanced and smarter than the rest of us dummies because of this or that... end up proving that they are into coonish/cacish shit. I guarantee if someone makes a post about china's intellectual property theft and/or currency manipulation and how it hurts us as a country...shit that drumpf and others on both sides of the aisle are right about... you won't be clowned. ....but buy into MAGA, etc... you're a fucking coon.

Tariffs aren't an ideal tactic but the trade needle needed to be move significantly.

Everyday, people are hit with sum type of distraction and the masses sit there like baby robins with their mouth open begging for more!! Anyway, Question Everything and Believe Nothing!! Good reply, X...

This is the point where it's no longer funny to me. It's not what he's saying, but it's who's listening. When a gullible and easily led group of people think or truly feel they're doing something in the name of some form religion, no matter how asinine, EVERYTHING is on the table. This shit ain't funny to me no more. Now you got stupid ass cacs calling him the "2nd coming".
